I would use the 17's with track tires for racing only, as there's not much in tire selection for 15's for the street. I'm sure the ride is much stiffer also.

I do like the "Pro-Touring" concept, and have see many Old Camaro's ect...that look great with what I call, "Hot Rodded", with a lowered stance and big wheels, but like I said, not on the short small Cobra. The wish I have, is that Good Year would come out with new billboard RADIAL tires.

Since were all together on this issue, have any of you drove a Cobra with the billboard bias tires ? I've heard both sides of owners that use them. Some say their great but other's say, they'll never use bias plys again. They throw rocks and they tend to wonder a lot on the highway. If,....they are decent, on the highway, I would love a set ! Fat & wide billboards,.....don't get much better for the racing look !

I would not have a problem with painting the lettering either, which has been addressed many times here on CC.

What do you guys think ?

Thanks,
I have them and love them. Yes, they do throw rock, and they sometimes wander a bit. However I'm once again willing to put up with that for the handling and looks.
